ROTATION IN OFFICE.

OUatlittt Zee ~ u.
With Andrew Jackson, the father of
practical Democracy, came into force
the doctrine that long continuance in
power Of one set Of men is Inconsistent
with free Republican institutions. An
official class, a governing class cannot
be tolerated where the peOn0 govern
themselves. Rotation in o,fce is as
wise a principle Of sound political Dh-
lOsophy as any doctrine ever discov-
cred aud consecrated bv Jefferson and
Madison. \ nd ia 1881, Hendricks, that
practical and pure Democratic thinker,
made all his speeches hinge on the
great dagger OF the peoples permitting
one Parry, one set OF men to remain in
office so long that their interests be
came distinct from those OF the people
and their power enabled them to defy
the will OF the people. The eloquent
and earnest appeals Of Hendricks were
needed, and it was the doctrine OF ro-
talon in office that won the day.
Let us apply tuIS doct Inc 10 our gu
bernaiolial candidates. Let Us cunccde
that Governor McEncry has had but
one term ia Office, although it may well
he doubted il Arthur, who beg me
President at the same time MCEnery
did Governor, could have claimed two
more ltl HIS W ttHbll ltIc tilIi .-t ti tlllll
tcrmism. But suppose this is McEncrys
first term, is it Democratic to lC~eIect
him 2 1t may be constitutional, bat is
it Democratic
,ouisiana gives her Governor a term
Of four years, while most OF TIC States
make the term much shorter. Now,
with all the Immense ratr01ag0 in the
Governors hands, the temptation to so
use it as to secure his rejection is IL
resiSt,ble unless the people establish
the precedent that Governor can hold
but one term a. Il time.
This was the reason that every c0u-
stitution of Louisiana down to 1919,
forbade the Governor succeeding him
self. WarmOth tried to get the consti
tuition amended so that he cOuId sue
coed himself, but he is the only Cover
nor that ever made such an attempt.
Senator EustjS made a very lame de
Tense Of McEnely's claim FOR another
term, and poor exhibition of his own
his siicai huOWledHe when he stated, as
Il precedent, that HatlICll Henry was
SIX times couSccutively elected Cover
nor OF Virginia In the first place Pat
rick Urnty was only elected five times,
and the terms We're rOt consecutive.
He served from 11.j to 11.9, and from
11SJ TO lis, five years in all, THIS was
the reward OF the great Revolutionary
orator-hnt len years is not too much
for McEuciy, q shah.

Moorehouse Clarion The Governor,
we sorrowiully note, did not treat Geu-
eral Nichols candidacy with tLat cour-
tesy and respect in his olatorlcat effort
which was due him, aud was in great
contrast with the respectful manDer IN
which he was treated 10y Genetai Nlch-
oils; and that cry down ESQ 10 Spct K }
Of Governor McEnery's does not st as
well upon the Democratic nerves OF tins
parish as he might think. Indeed, the
tenor OF Cover Dor McEDery's speech
was sad, sad mistake, virtually claim
ing that no good Democrat could con-
scientiously oppose him. Thank God,
that old Morehouse has not yet velged
so far into imbeciity but has had
enough good, hard common sense left
to laugh at such amusing Statements.
The principles OF the grand old party
are not only known and their execution
undei stood and appreciated by one of
its members, but many know that we
are po5 united party of fools headed
bv but a single wise man who is COM
peteDt and honest enough to carry out
party principles.
Homer Journal: Through her prima-
ries last Saturday, and her parish con-
yention Monday, the good people OF the
DdfISH ok SldlDot SApiAooNo t'iStL
choice for the next governor OF Loulsi-
ana in no uncertain Or uDmlstakable
tones. The delegates chosen Saturday
were all of one mind, and when they
assembled Monday there was DO oppo-
sition to General Nichols in the par
jsL ouVention-every precinct IN
the parish having elected Nichols dele
gates and by an overwhelming vote.
The vote polled for McEnely delegates,
other than at the Homer and Athens
boxes was insignificant The parish
convention Monday elected eleven true
and good men as delegates to the State
convention which assemblies in. Baton
Rouge next January, and Instructed
them to vote for Governor Nichols first,
last and all the time. And thus ClaI-
borne unites her voice with East Fe
liciana, Rapides,s Webster and other
parishes in favor Of the most dlstln-
euIshed son OF Louisiana for chief ex-
ecutiye Of our great and growing State:
This ends the fight IN our parish, and
we hope that il any unkiDd feeling, any
heart burDings have been aroused be-
tween brother Democrats in this parish
they will now be buried and forgotten
The e @i.t being over IN Claiborne, we
shall discontinue the discussion OF the
question in future further than to keep
our readers posted in tie news OF the

The McEneryites carried Acadia par
ish last Saturday by concentrating all
their strength on certain polls in the
eastern part of the parish that had a
small majority Of the delegates Of the
parish, and they elected these delegates
by small majorities. The majority Of
the number of votes cast in the entire
parish was against them SO the people
Of the parish are still for Nichols, and
il delegates had been voted for by the
parish at large, a Nichols delegation
would have been elected.
